I Happen to have a different opinion to yourself , thus making me not a troll but you small minded.. Please inform me which one of my points aren't valid or have some truth behind them.. Sorry to interrupt the Disney forum..

[portlaunay]

Can I please just remind everyone that a difference of opinion is not a bad thing.

 

Please don't let this descend into nit-picking and petty quarrelling and show some respect for others.

 

Many thanks

Your opinion counts,as does your keyboard attitude.......as first posts go,that's up there with a Jimmy Saville joke!

 

Why not try,introducing yourself giving some insight into what you do etc.......nowhere is perfect and WA is just another place that people live.

 

They are a good and honest bunch on here,a bits mumsnet (but that's usually just Keefo) if you are just posting for a reaction,then you have one! And I pride myself on my small minded,northern piss taking attributes.

(in fact I was born in Enfield,raised in Nottingham and now live in Yorkshire,but that is besides the point)

It was their 1st post though Porty, I've seen others criticised for less by senior members for their 1st posts. It maybe their opinion but to start having a go at northerners and obese people is maybe slightly OTT....you never know some on here maybe on the heavier side or a northerner!

 

I think most of us understand the personalities we're dealing with from the way people reveal themselves and some people are just not worth responding to or getting bent out of shape over. Don't feed the troll and we can all move along pretty quickly.

My cautionary words were to everyone; please don't rise to it.

[Guest Guest6235]

Ok Porty.

YKWYIP when the radio is 20 years behind.

Ykwyi Perth whwhen

 

your kids wear shorts all year round

the verges on the way to school are covered in pink everlasting wild flowers from August to October

people ask'so what winter/summer sport is your child doing?'

you have cracked heels from going without socks for eight months of the year

you know that the purple jacaranda tree in flower means the end of the school year is near

you think a pelican sitting on top of a lamp post on the drive home is normal.

you know what a quokka is and can pronounce echidna.

a kangaroo on the golf course is not a surprise

you can watch the sunset over the ocean while cooking your dinner on a free BBQ

you know what Good Sammy is and where the best ones are.

you know Manchester isn't just a place in England

you can name the location of at least five Dome cafes.

It is normal to watch a film outside.

you queue to go to Jamie's Italian.

you own a boat or know someone with one

every time you see tourists it reminds you how lucky you are to live here

[Lou8670]

YKYIP when...

 

You see hundreds of coloured hats charging around the beach and into the surf on a Sunday morning;

 

You get up at 6am thinking you've had a lie in;

 

You park your car in the garage and the garage door clicker becomes your new best friend;

 

Watermelon is a staple on your shopping list;

 

You have friends palming lemons off on you by the bucket full and you've tried every lemon recipe known to man; ( @robT )

[JenPen]

Looking forward to having some lemons off you and an iced coffee worn you. Xxx

[Bibbs]

You can drive from one end of the city to the other in 10mins, on a week day.

 

In the "bad traffic jams" the cars never actually stop, you just drive slower.

 

The trains and buses are cheap, clean, air conditioned, reliable and on-time.

 

The women in the CBD are stunning, Friday afternoon beers start at lunchtime.

 

If you are willing to work hard, and your pay cheque shows it.

 

When a car with an engine under 5 litres is "poverty spec".

 

A house within 10mins of the CBD isn't unaffordable.

 

You never have to use the "daylight savings" button on your alarm clock, or adjust the time on the cooker/microwave/tv recorder/clocks/watches.

 

The paperwork you downloaded from the government website isn't valid as "we have different forms in WA".

Eating more meals outside than at the dining table indoors!

[Nikkis2000]

YKYIPW

you can get ready for bed in stages using the lengthy ad breaks in the TV programmes.

 

Start around 9.15 in bed by 10.30!!

We wish we could do that, at least in the evening. Too dark and too many insects by then...

YKWYIPW

 

-The noisy birds tweet day and night

-People have number plates on their cars with the likes of 'Bimbo', 'Yeah Mate' and 'Awesome' (in fact we have made a bit of a sport out of spotting the best ones)

-A rain shower is welcome so I don't have to hand water my lawn (retic broken and agent useless)

-Rental agents are pretty useless and try to get away with doing as little work as possible

-My kids play outside every day and they actually ask for the suncream now rather than me having to chase them down

-Everybody drinks coffee

-A LOT of people don't wear shoes

-In Spring you see people cycling with cable ties, branches or sticky eyes on their helmets

[Guest Guest6235]

Might be a blessing retic broken Nikki, read on here once someone ran up a huge water bill with that until he switched it off & after that he only put it on once a week.

Mozzie coils, sticks, spray plus outdoor lighting! Works well for me and I get eaten alive. Nothing nicer than eating outdoors on a warm Perth evening

drinking outdoors on a warm Perth evening is much better!!
